Mike Dunn/McClatchyRuben Tejada will split time at second base with Justin Turner for the rest of the season.

NEW YORK — Remember how much fun we had last year analyzing the Mets’ platoon options with Angel Pagan and Jeff Francouer? I sure do. Since we’ve got a bit of a September competition at second base between Ruben Tejada and Justin Turner, let’s run through the numbers again, shall we?

WHAT IT MEANS

If we glean anything from this data, it’s that Tejada possesses the brighter future. He is younger. He looks like the better hitter, with a better approach, though with less power. Both players will receive plenty of time, Terry Collins insists. But Tejada’s development appears more promising.
